It's a way of life....

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY <3

I learned today that my HCG and my weight loss is a way of life not just a diet. Not only have I loss some weight.. but I also have learned to make better decisions and make better selections of the ingridents in which I put in my body. Today due to a co-workers birthday and Valentine's day dinner.. I ate out twice today. Here is what I had:

For lunch: We went to Chilis. I had the Old Timer hamburger. Ordered exactly like this: Can I have the old timer cooked well done and with no extra oil or butter and no cheese or mayo? Instead of fries can I have a salad with no carrots, cheese, or croutons? I will take salsa for a salad dressing. And a water please? The salad was more than 2 cups so I scooped off what I thought was too much. I knew my burger was a 1/2 pound patty so I cut it in half.. slathered it in mustard and ate just the patty while the bread and such sat on the side. Success #1. I did have a small bite of a brownie but didn't cave on the chips and salsa. Also to include 4 cups of water.  

For dinner: We had mexican. My weakness. I ordered Spinach Enchiladas. It was Valentine's day and I wanted to splurge a little. I had a few chips with salsa and a couple dibs in the queso. Nothing compared to what I used to eat. I ate only one spinach enchiladas which had no cheese but did have a sour cream sauce on it. I scraped most of the sauce off where there was just a hint of it and covered in it pico de gallo. It came with sauteed vegetables.. which again had a little oil and such but not as bad as rice and beans. It came with a bowl of charro beans which I gladly took one little bite and pushed them away. Also to include 2 giant glasses of water. No dessert.

While my entire day was not HCG friendly and might make me gain.. I am proud of the choice I made. It really shows I have come along way in a short period of time. Not only is it a diet and about losing weight to me.. Its about a lifestyle change and I am proud to be sticking to me guns! Go me :-)
